Re: Living on a Military Base

I've just joined the Army and head off to BCT in January. My wife and I will not be living on base once I get my first station. I'm not sure how this works, but let's say I check my gun in at the armory. When I leave base, I go check it out, right? Unable to technically concealed carry until off ba...

Re: Any bone-head CHLers?

My wife's grandfather is the biggest bone head in the world when it comes to guns. I live on an Air Force base (big signs out front, that say no firearms.) mine are registered on base so I can have them in housing, but I do not carry them around on base (not aloud). So he comes to visit, I tell him ...

Re: Noob: Intro

Re: Living on a Military Base

Yeah they changed the rules for keeping Privately owned firearms on base. You have to drive straight from house to gate and vise versa. but you can keep them at the casa as long as you have registered them at the armory and you keep them Unloaded (<--- yea right) and locked up always. Mine do stay l...

Living on a Military Base

How do I then get it to the small of my back with out other people seeing? I am going to have to stop in a parking lot to bring the gun to the...
